Porcupine

[Playing Nov. 5-7 at the Rising Sun International Film Festival, Nov. 9-14 at the Napa Valley Film Festival, and Nov. 10-14 at the Cucalorus Film Festival.] After a lonely, twenty-something, pixie-haired blonde (Jena Malone), who loves watching YouTube videos of small animals, had lost her seventh job and moved four times in a short time, and her boyfriend just broke up with her, in M. Cahill's quirky, factually inspired, thought-provoking, realistic, 92-minute film, she seeks meaningful companionship while estranged from her dysfunctional parents and looks into adult adoption with a cantankerous, regimented, retired NASA aeronautical German engineer (Robert Hunger-Bühler) and his kindhearted wife (Emily Kuroda) despite having their own strained relationships with their adult children (Will Rogers and Brook Bloome).
